The green pigment in plants that uses light energy for photosynthesis

Real World Example

Imagine trying to charge your phone using only the sunlight streaming through your window. Just like how your phone needs a specific tool—a solar charger—to convert sunlight into energy, plants use chlorophyll to capture light energy from the sun. Chlorophyll acts like the solar charger for plants, transforming sunlight into the energy they need to produce food through photosynthesis, just as the solar charger converts sunlight into usable power for your phone.
